Selecting the Printer Port Auto-Convert Method
Using the auto-convert printer port wizard, you can auto-convert the local printer port for the computer in which Desktop is installed as follows.
Convert a standard TCP/IP port to an application-enabled port
Convert an application-enabled port to a standard TCP/IP port
In the [Method to Auto-Convert Ports] dialog box, select one of the methods for converting a printer port.
|
[Convert Standard TCP/IP Ports to Supported Ports]
|
The printer port that is configured to a standard TCP/IP port can be converted to an application-enabled port whose IP address is the same as the standard TCP/IP port. If there is no application-enabled port that has the same IP address, a new application-enabled port is created and the standard TCP/IP port is converted to this port.
|
|
[Convert Supported Ports to Standard TCP/IP Ports]
|
The printer port that is configured to an application-enabled port can be converted to a standard TCP/IP port whose IP address is the same as the standard TCP/IP port. If there is no standard TCP/IP port that has the same IP address, the port is converted to LPT1.

Note

|
When the port is converted, the standard TCP/IP port and the application-enabled port are not deleted.
The port conversion of a printer for which the printer spool is enabled is not supported. The maximum number of printers for which an application-enabled port can be assigned is 32 per host.
